Roberta “Bobbi” Arbetter, 88, of Chestnut Hill, MA, passed away on February 7, 2023, knowing that she was deeply loved and that her memory will be a blessing to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Bobbi was born to Morris and Betty (Berman) Feldman on March 3, 1934, as Roberta Sandra Feldman, in Boston, MA. She grew up in Brighton.  She graduated from Simmons College in 1955 with a major in social sciences and was involved with Hillel.

Bobbi was a highly competitive Bridge player, who enjoyed the game so much she even adopted “No Trump” as a political belief. She loved playing cards and did her best to teach bridge to her grandson, whom she hoped would still get the hang of it one day. Bobbi loved skating, tennis, bowling, traveling the world, and vacationing with her husband and children in Europe and the Pacific Rim. She was a loving and accepting grandmother who was always excited to cheer on her grandchildren in whatever new endeavor they took on.

She is predeceased by her late husband Albert, sister Ronnie, and stepdaughters, Jodi and Bunny. Bobbi is survived by her children, Stephen and Stacey, her grandchildren, Jennifer, Douglas, Samantha, Mia, Brady, Vinny,  great-grandchildren, Mackenzie and Rocco; and her best friends Marilyn Wolman, and Kaila Balder.

A graveside burial service will be held at Sharon Memorial Park, on February 10, 2023, at 10:45 am. If you wish to honor Bobbi’s memory, please consider a donation in her name to the Friends of Dana-Farber, 450 Brookline Ave., SW 120, Boston, MA  02215.
